"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."-Second Amendment of the Constitution, Second Item in the Bill of Rights.
I may not be a politician, elite of the academic world, or attorney. And sometimes complicated information can confuse me. But when I read this, I feel it is pretty straight-forward. Simply put, (not that this is necessary), as a a citizen of the United States it is not only my priviledge, but my God-given right to own a gun. It's that simple. If I understand this simple concept, why can't politicians?
I am now speaking of our President-elect, Barack Obama. According to sources at the NRA Illinois chapter, Obama's team posted a plan on their "transition" website that detailed plans to enact four changes that would make it difficult for gun makers and buyers together. These changes include making the EXPIRED assult weapons ban permanent, repealing the Tiahrt amendment (the amendment allows ONLY law enforcement to trace guns to their owners), close the non-existent (but they say there is one) gunshow loophole, and enact impossible and expensive design changes all in the name of "childhood safety." (You can read the article at http://www.buckeyefirearms.org/node/6192).
After the article was posted on November 10, and covered extensively by the news, this information was removed from the transition website. This is according to the Washington Times. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2008/nov/11/exclusive-obama-deletes-agenda-from-transition-web/
So basically then, Barack Obama is not only going back on his campaign promises of enforcing the second amendment, he is refusing to admit it, in effect enacting these changes in secret. Well, I guess he did promise change...just wish the citizens of this country asked for specifics. Sorry, I'm just listening for the jackboots.
